Shannon Sharpe#42 of 87 NFL pundits · Nov 14, 2025

Sharpe says the AFC East will be a two-team fight between the Patriots and Bills for the next decade, predicts the Ravens win their division and host a playoff game, believes Lamar Jackson will eventually reach and win a Super Bowl, expects Justin Fields never to become what people hoped, and names their top three cornerbacks. They also think Jim Harbaugh will get the Chargers to a Super Bowl (though not necessarily this year) and expects Kyler Murray to be elsewhere next season.

How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naive

5 checkable claims — 1 conference champion, 1 division winner, 1 seeding, byes and home field, 1 super bowl pick and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

3 of 5 have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.

Albert Breer · Trade and Signing Calls · Jacoby Brissett · Hit 100
Breer argues the Jaguars should be taken very seriously, seeing a path to 13 wins and the AFC's No. 1 seed with a first-round bye, and they expect the Jacoby Brissett trade to Baltimore to be completed within a day.
Nathan Jahnke · Trade and Signing Calls · Jacoby Brissett · Hit 100
In a Week 9 recap, Jahnke expects Mark Andrews to remain Baltimore's lead tight end but says rookie Matt Hibner is more likely than Josh Cuevas to eventually overtake them, and they anticipate the Ravens acquiring Jacoby Brissett to start at quarterback. They also suggest Brian Thomas Jr. may have played their final game for Jacksonville ahead of the trade deadline.
Nic Bodiford · Depth Chart Calls · Joe Fagnano · Hit 100
Previewing Week 9 running game matchups, Bodiford expects Jacksonville to win lopsidedly over a depleted Baltimore team, with Bhayshul Tuten sitting out and Chris Rodriguez taking over as lead back, while Joe Fagnano starts at quarterback for the Ravens. They also view Broncos rookie Jonah Coleman as an RB2 going forward.
Mike Florio · Roster Spot Calls · Jake Moody · Miss 0
Florio expects Jake Moody to be promoted from Baltimore's practice squad to the 53-man roster if Tyler Loop lands on injured reserve.
Rich Eisen · Game Outcome Picks · Baltimore Ravens · Miss 0
Eisen gave a top-10 power ranking of NFL "game wreckers," predicted Will Anderson Jr. wrecks a game at least twice for the Texans this year, and walked through a Jaguars game-by-game prediction landing on a 13-4 record.
John Breech · Trade and Signing Calls · Jacoby Brissett · Hit 100
Breech picks the Jaguars to blow out the quarterback-depleted Ravens on Thursday night, and in Week 9 takes the Bengals to outlast the Falcons in a Madrid shootout. They also expect Jacoby Brissett to be a Raven within 48 hours and to make their first Baltimore start in Week 11.
